Blackmore's Night - Highland

Looking out and I'm wondering where I am
While I'm stuck in the daily traffic jam
I decide to get out and leave the car behind me
Everywhere there are people passing by
Empty faces and not a friendly smile
Under stress, loneliness, a part of our city
Now I finally have decided
I will leave it all behind
And discover something better
And I know where I will find
Find a place of harmony,
of laughter and of dreams
If you want me, that is where I'll be

I'll be waiting on the Highland
With its wonderful serenity
Where the stars glow and the brooks flow
That's my way of life
When the mountains on the Highland
And the nature is surrounding me
When the wind blows
That's all I need, all I need

On the Highland when I was a child
I would play with my friends,
man, we were wild
And we all loved the moors,
the nature and it's freedom
And we went for ghost hunt in the mist
I remember the first time I got kissed
By the shy neighbour guy,
who whispered "be my girlfriend"
But I longed for some excitement
So I travelled 'round the world
After that I seattled down and
I became a city girl
Went to parties every night
and lived intensively
Now I know it's not a life for me

I'll be waiting on the Highland
With it's wonderful serenity
Where the stars glow and the brooks flow
That's my way of life
When the mountains on the Highland
And the nature is surrounding me
When the wind blows, that's all I need
Bonnie Highland, Bonnie Highland,
you're so sweet

Oh, my darling
I would hate to leave here without you
I am sure you'll love the Highland too
If you join me I can promise
You'll stay until eternity

I'm a big fan of the classic Blackmore's Night stuff, but even though this is really unlike anything they used to do, this whole album too, I really surprisingly like it. this song exceeds all expectations of awesome =]

Hey this is a "Swedish" song by the band "One more time". It was in the local contest to select Sweden´s Eurovision Song Contest contribution.

This was in the early 90´s
